Group W

[Robert S Chase]

Arlo Guthrie refers to the Group W bench in his classic "Alice's Restaurant" 
rendition. Does anybody know if he based it on the Westinghouse Group W tag 
and if not where it came from. (It obviously has nothing to do with details 
of the "masacree." I have always wanted to know what the answer to that 
question was and have never found an answer.
